Minnelli and Lady Gaga presenting Best Picture at the 2022 Academy Awards.
Back in late June, close pals told RadarOnline.com that Minnelli is receiving "round-the-clock" care from a nurse at her Los Angeles home. The New York, New York star's cognitive abilities were also said to have declined further in recent months.
"Liza often fidgets, her hands shake, and she looks look horrible," sources told RadarOnline.com. "She sometimes doesn’t know who she’s talking to and has a hard time focusing."
The last public sighting of Minnelli was in September 2022, when she stepped out for dinner. Minnelli's frail state was shocking as she appeared to struggle to stand and required the assistance of two individuals.
Months before the concerning dinner outing, Minnelli was featured as a presenter at the Academy Awards in March 2022.
Fans were shocked by Minnelli's bewildered state as she stumbled through her script for Best Picture nominee alongside co-presenter Lady Gaga, who compassionately stepped in to help the legendary songbird finish the presentation.
"Liza rarely leaves the house anymore, so the Oscars were supposed to be such an important moment for her," a source told RadarOnline.com of the unfortunate night.
"It turned out horribly, though, when she was brought out in a wheelchair instead of being seated in a producer’s char, as she was expecting. She didn’t want people to remember her that way."
